Check and adjust ownership and permissions on the directories involved.

( do not for a moment nelieve that _any_ vendor does the right thing, in
my expeience all vendors misses details now and then)

Look out for : 
- named and the user that named runs under, has write capability on the
directory stated with "directory"
- file in this/these drectories are writable by same user ( if you expect 
named to write them )
- no acl's or simular prohibits write

also note that running named as non-root will impact the ability to discover
new interfaces and start using them.
